A number of young Lions will get their chance against Denmark on Wednesday but the England manager insists there will be NO clear-out

Impressive: Luke Shaw's fine season with Southampton may earn him a senior England bow

Roy Hodgson is likely to give youth a chance when he names an enlarged squad 32-man squad for next Wednesday's home friendly against Denmark at Wembley.

A number of younger players have been pushing their claims to be part of the World Cup squad for Brazil in recent months.

In particular, Luke Shaw and Raheem Sterling have impressed for their Premier League clubs this season.

Manchester United's Wilfried Zaha, on loan at Cardiff, could also get the nod when Hodgson announces his latest squad on today.

But it is the Saints defender that is the most likely to feature as Ashley Cole continues to find his first team opportunities at Chelsea limited.

However, the England boss was quick to point out he will not cast aside the players that secured qualification and will be looking for the right blend of youth and experience for the tournament.

"We can't just throw every senior player aside because maybe in 2016 there will be even more youngsters coming through," the England manager said recently after the Euro 2016 qualifying draw.

"But we always want to make certain that we do select some young players."

Other players that could be in Hodgson's plan are Norwich's Nathan Redmond and Sunderland winger Adam Johnson as they have been in brilliant form for their clubs.

Nathaniel Clyne and Jon Flanagan may get their first call-ups as cover for Phil Jones and Kyle Walker who are struggling with injuries.

While fit again West Ham striker Andy Carroll and West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster might also feature.

The chosen players will join the England training camp in Watford on Sunday and Hodgson is hoping to relay some of his fact-finding trip to South America last week as the build-up for the tournament begins.

"Even though the focus is on Denmark we also want to introduce some ideas to the players that we have with regard to going to Brazil, about how we are going to do things logistically," Hodgson added.
